Some classes may be Int/Teen split due to enrollment
Our Teen Dance Troop blends fun and hard work into one program. We’ve got a style for every one of your dancers desires and each class is structured to keep them moving from the moment they walk in, to the moment they dance out. Read more down below to learn about the different benefits that each style offers. Our teen dancers love our high-energy and enthusiastic instructors and they are sure to build new friendships with classmates as they dance their way through the season. Some dance experience may be necessary depending on the style and age of the dancer! All of our Teen Dance Troop Dancers will be included in our Holiday Spectacular, Photo Day, and Year-End Recital in June.
